i try to stay away from Chick-fil-a for the gay reasons, but i still end up there every couple months or so because it's pretty good. The only other place I just really don't want to go to is Subway, because their subs are shit for about the same price as decent subs elsewhere.

Whenever I see an Applebee's commercial with Chris Berman posing in front of a beer and a plate of hot Applebee's food, I have to assume as soon as the director yells "thats a wrap," Berman chugs the beer, knocks the plate of food onto the floor and curses at how insulted he is to have to step foot into an Applebee's, let alone pretend to like it.] 2/15/2012 8:09:05 PM

I don't refuse to go to any places but there are a few places I try to avoid. Red Robin, Chilis, Ruby Tuesday, and a lot of other chains. I do like Cheesecake Factory on occasion though, along with Macaroni Grill and Carrabba's.
I agree with the point about aging affecting your tastes. I can taste the salt in everything these days. Chances are people who say "X makes me sick now" just can't eat like they could as teenagers. 2/15/2012 10:49:51 PM

I too, attempted to stay away from their delectable treats when I found out they were against my bestiality habit, but then I could not stay away from the chicken nuggets. 2/15/2012 11:49:58 PM

I tend to stray away from places with multimillion dollar ad budgets or places that don't actually cook the food or prepare the food like a Chili's or Applebees. Anyone that would put ammonia in food like McDonald's does also loses business for life.

Additionally, i agree with the "fuck Chic Fil-A's bigotry but I occasionally indulge" sentiment.
All Chili's can burn to the ground. Fucking salt factory.
Also, Bojangles haters can GTFO. I don't care if that's incongruous with the 'salt factory' comment. 2/24/2012 10:57:08 PM

Every Bojangles east of Raleigh is godawful.
I try to avoid chain sit-down restaurants for the most part, although I do still like Carrabba's, the thing with the goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes and chicken is good.
Glasshalffull is the only local place that comes to mind that I will never ever ever go back to. 2/24/2012 11:08:52 PM

The shit like the southwest egg roll has to come prepared and frozen. I prefer to eat at places that start with fresh veggies and meat. I like restaurants to actually cook rather that frying frozen food. 2/25/2012 10:31:47 AM

I declared a blood feud with that shitty restaurant in 2002 after yet another horrible experience at the one on Hillsborough. I've never looked back. Fuck that chain shithole.
^ I will be forced to eat there occasionally for pure convenience. The one opening in CV is literally 100 yards from my back door.

I used to hate on Applebee's so hard. I hadn't been in at least a decade. I had to go with some work folks up in NY, and it was actually palatable. I... I had to rethink a decade of hatred. I need to confirm that it wasn't garbage, but I don't know if I want to go back.
Now, Friday's is another story. I went there, and couldn't find a single thing on the menu worth putting in my mouth. And this was knowing we were getting like 1/2 off. 2/25/2012 12:13:54 PM

I can't say that there's any restaurant I absolutely won't eat at maybe Burger King? but that could happen
I got really hungry yesterday and ate a fucking gas station hot dog why are those so much thicker than real hot dogs? I don't want MORE weird hot dog meat... I mean really it is just an excuse to eat chili and slaw in a bun. 2/25/2012 12:19:06 PM
